Summary: COMPLETELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Review: After playing the video game, i have gotten a craving to read the book... I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS GETTING INTO!! I CAN'T PUT IT DOWN!! It gives a lot of details that helped me understand what i saw much better. if you read this book, you will be lost in the world of Resident Evil just as i did!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book!!!
Review: As soon as I saw it, I thought " I have to have this book". I liked it. It tells what the characters are thinking which was never in the games unless there's a cinema movie part. It was a little short on Chris'and Wesker's part, It was pretty much like that in the game. It does reveal more of Alexia and Alfred too. I loved the parts with Steve and Claire, they were cute.(Cuz Steve and Claire are my favorite characters and they make a cute couple) I think they were in love more in the book, cuz in the game Steve was in love with Claire and that was it. I wish Steve hadn't died in the game and book. I hope he does come back like Wesker did. Anyway, I can't wait for more novels, and this was the best!

Summary: The war moves to a new battleground.
Review: Claire Redfield breaks into the Paris HQ of Umbrella to find her brother Chris, but is captured instead. From Paris she is taken to a top secret Umbrella facility on Rockfort Island in the Southern Atlantic (evidently a stone's throw from both South America and Antartica). Before anybody can get their torturous hands on Claire there is an attack and a T-Virus outbreak. Now different monsters run the facility, can Claire escape? S.D. Perry's sixth contribution to the popular survival horror adaptations and spin-offs maintains the solid standards she has set with the earlier books, though the climax here feels a tad rushed. Fans will enjoy it. Recommended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Zombieriffic!
Review: Claire Redfield has been captured by the Umbrella corporation during her quest to find her missing brother Chris. She is taken to a remote island where, you guessed it, a virus outbreak occurs. She must escape the prison, island, battle all sorts of monsters and stop the insane genius behind the island before she can get on with the search for Chris again.

Not having played the computer game, I cant say how true to the game the book is, but, the tone of the book continues the eerie, bleak, hopelessness of the other books. Parts of the book imbue the feeling you would get when playing the actual game.
Alongside the introduction of a new monster the novel also sees the return of a character from the first Resident Evil, one who by all right should be dead, and interesting developments regarding the Umbrella Spy, Trent are revealed.

Overall, another chilling gem in the Resident Evil series, RECOMMENDED!

Review: Don't be confused by the low rating. I liked this book, I really did. It gave you a little bit of insight on how the characters in the game were thinking. It was pretty true to the game, but I wouldn't recommend reading this book, or any in the series, if you have the intention of playing the games at some point. Reading book then playing the game is a no-no. It will ruin the unmatched expeirence of the games.
Resident Evil-wise, the book was decent.
Book wise, it was just a very long fanfiction put into book format. The writer has a style that reminds me of a teenage fanboy (or girl), but somehow it works for her. Read this if you have nothing better to do in an afternoon. You probably won't want to put it down.

Summary: The new best seller is back.
Review: Finally a brand new Resident Evil book published. I really like Resident Evil even though that I don't have anytime to play. To me the cover is a bit gory just a zombie whoa I though the cover will be Chirs and Clare with some new monsters but whoa scary cover.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Was it the zombie or just the man with the gun?
Review: For those of us who have remained stalwart and fierce fans of the Resident Evil saga in gaming (despite the Survivor fiasco), these books are indeed a welcome additive. S.D. Perry remains a wonderful writer who does complete justice to the series, and gives us insights into our favorite heroes' (and villains') minds. When most games are made into books (or even movies--hint, hint), they tend to get over commercialized and lose a lot of their appeal.....or even worse, stray so much from the original storyline that it becomes barely recognizable as the game we know and love. But thankfully, this is not the case. And let me just say--this is not a "guy thing". That's because I'm a girl (obviously :P) and I still remain enraptured by the entire series (or maybe it's just Wekser...nah, gotta be the series). This book is definitely one of my favorites in the horror genre. It's too bad I couldn't say the same about the movie........

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Itchy. Tasty.
Review: I am a HUGE Resident Evil fan, and have read all six resident evil books. This was one of the best books I've ever read. The majority of the book which involved Claire and Steve on Rockfort was great, as was the way Perry wrote from Alfred's point of view. I also like the part where Chris found about Claire being on Rockfort. I gave it a four because, while it was a great book, I would've liked to have seen more action with Chris. Chris's part was incredibly rushed. And Wesker had almost no relivance what so ever. Perry should have used the CVX version of the game to base the novel. That way the scene with Claire and Wesker would've been included, as would the incredible fight scene between Chris and Wesker. Most of the bosses from of the game were excluded. Still it was a great book and is a great read for any resident evil fan.
